The 1946 Copa Escobar-Gerona, also named Copa de Confraternidad Rioplatense, was the 4th (and last) edition of this cup competition organised jointly by the Argentine and Uruguayan football associations.[1] The 1946 edition of the cup was the only edition out of the four editions in which the title was awarded to one club, rather than the two of the previous year or the none of 1941 and 1942.
